- Fans from China flew to this show and presented the band with a banner signed by Chinese fans and said how badly they wanted the band to tour there. This was said to be a big influence in the band playing in China for the first time in 2007.

- This was the first time the band performed in Portugal. Mike mentions before 'Papercut' that the band was happy to finally play a show there since the previous two times they were asked to come, they couldn't make it.

- On the intro to 'Runaway,' Mike mistakenly says "People of Madrid here's what we want to see." Before he asks everyone to jump up and down, he corrects himself with Lisbon instead.

- After 'Runaway,' Mike mentions someone in the front row with a flag that says "Linkin Park Welcome to Portugal."

- Mike has the crowd sing the bridge of 'A Place For My Head' right after the intro to the song (the regular bridge was played as well).

Comments: 'Somewhere I Belong', 'Faint', 'From The Inside', 'In The End', and 'One Step Closer' only. Includes interviews with the band recorded at the Wiltern 3-24-03 and select studio tracks from Meteora.

- Before 'A Place For My Head', Chester said the fans brought him out of the "shithole" he was in earlier in the day. In December 2014, a review of the show was found from BBC with some interesting information about Chester: "Linkin Park performed at Rock City in Nottingham last night (Monday), despite the lead singer hurting his hand just minutes before going on stage. There were about 1000 fans there and the band played tracks from their new album 'Meteora' due out later this month. Chester Bennington, the lead singer, took his shirt off to show off his skinny tattooed body - much to the approval of the girls in the crowd. Ten minutes before the gig he punched the dressing room wall and badly bruised his hand. He had to keep an ice pack on it but told us he wasn't fazed by his injury:

"My hand doesn't matter, you can cut it off for all I care. As long as my voice works."

"If I lost all feeling from my neck down, if you could string me up and I could sing, I'd be there doing the shows."

"The fans come first and the shows come first too and that's all that matters to us. We really don't care about anything else except for the music and the kids.""

- This was a private show by BBC Radio 1. During "UK Week" (a promo for LPU members and LP fans) by the band, the LPU offered tickets to Nottingham, London, Top Of The Pops, Manchester, and CD:UK/Headliners. The Nottingham show was "event #2" on the list with no description (no date, time or location), but LPU'ers were allowed to enter for tickets and if they won, they were notified of the date, location, etc of the show. A small Meet & Greet was held before the show, but the LPU'ers were encouraged to enter to win M&G's for other shows in the UK that week, presumably to not fill up the Nottingham M&G with a lot of fans. To gain admission to the show, either you won tickets from the LP Underground or via BBC Radio 1.

- The announcement of the show by BBC said, "To celebrate the launch of their incredible new album 'Meteora', Linkin Park will be playing a gig exclusively for Radio 1 at Nottingham's Rock City Monday 3rd March. Lamacq Live on March 3rd will bring you a Linkin Park Special with a headline set, backstage interviews & reveiw live from Nottingham. All this week Jo Whiley, Lamacq Live, the Rock Show and Colin Murray will be giving away tickets on air on BBC RADIO 1. Your last chance to get hold of a pair of tickets to the gig will be on Saturday March 1st during Scott Mills show when Colin Murray will be roaming the streets of Nottingham looking for deserving fans to give the few remaining tickets away."

- The first public recordings of the new Meteora songs came from this show ('Don't Stay,' 'Somewhere I Belong,' 'Lying From You,' 'Faint,' and 'From The Inside') via the online webcast and the radio broadcast. 'Hit The Floor' and 'Easier To Run' were cut.

- Fans lined up at the gate the night before the show. Over 28,000 were in attendance.

- There were strict regulations in place by the Malaysian government for this show. The band couldn't spit on stage, curse, throw things into the crowd, jump around violently, wear short pants or scream excessively.

- At the time, Linkin Park was the biggest international band to ever perform in Malaysia.

- There is a TV special with clips of the Meet & Greet, 'Don't Stay.' 'Somewhere I Belong' and 'Lying From You.'

- Mike was sitting at a shoe store in Malaysia when a man walked up and held his one-year-old kid out, face-down, and handed him a marker. Mike felt like if he didn't sign the kid, the man was going to be pissed, so he did it. He told this story several times over the years, saying it is the weirdest thing that has happened to him while on tour.

Comments: Unreleased. Shot for Eagle Vision records. Produced by Clear Channel Entertainment Television. 7 cameras and 8 recorders used.The full video of 'Breaking The Habit' was uploaded on

too, along with 'Papercut', 'Points Of Authority', and a raw footage sample (later removed). Eagle Vision has released several DVD compilations of performances from past Smokeout Festivals, some even containing performances from 2003, but none of them include any of the Linkin Park performance.

- Mike and Brad try to ask the crowd before 'P5hng Me A*wy' in Spanish if they have Reanimation by saying 'Tenemos un album, Reanimation?.' They pull a guy up from the crowd then have him ask the crowd if they have Reanimation and ask if they know 'P5hng Me A*wy' by saying 'Reanimation, Esta cancion es Pushing Me Away,' which means 'Reanimation... This song is Pushing Me Away.'

- It seems like Brad's amp wasn't turned on for the intro of 'A Place For My Head' because his guitar abruptly cuts in after it's supposed to.

- After 'A Place For My Head,' Mike tells the crowd that the show is Donny's, Rob's drum tech, last show with the band, so they have him do his very own short drum solo on Rob's drums.

- A video with clips of the first few songs proshot as well as Brad (speaking in Spanish) and Phoenix giving a pre-show press conference exists.

- After screaming "WHY" on the 'By Myself' intro earlier in the year, Chester appears to have switched it around this point of the touring cycle "BURN / BRIGHT / BURN / BRIGHT".

- Brad performed the intro of 'Pushing Me Away' before 'P5hng Me A*wy'.

- 'Numb' was given a new guitar intro at this show.

- This was the band's second trip to Tokyo (after their 2001 show there) and they headlined three nights in four days at the venue. After one of the shows, according to the From The Inside book by Linkin Park, Mike was found by their tour manager passed out in an alley behind a bar.

- Due to Osaka (10/22) and Tokyo (10/24 and 10/25) selling out immediately, another third night in Toyko was added for 10/27.

- On June 2, 2003, an announcement on the band's website stated, "Chester Bennington, vocalist for the rock band Linkin Park was admitted to a Los Angeles area hospital last Friday afternoon after an attack of severe back and abdominal pains. Bennington remains hospitalized as doctors are still trying to determine the cause of these ailments. All touring and video shoot plans in Europe have been put on hold this month as we make sure Chester fully recovers. We wish him the best, and will keep everyone posted as to his condition."

First of all I'd like to thank everyone from fans & bands to my friends, and the hospital staff who have been very supportive and understanding of my situation. I finally got out of the hospital over the weekend after 9 days, and the doctor instructed me to rest for the next 2 - 3 weeks. Right now it seems like it was some bacteria or virus that spread throughout my intestines and body, putting me in intense pain. It also would not let me eat for a week. My doctors and nurses were amazing, and very helpful during my stay.

We are working on when we will be making up the missed European headline dates, and I am really bummed we had to miss the festivals. I plan on playing our warm up show in Las Vegas on June 27th, and ripping everyone's face off this summer on SUMMER SANITARIUM. I also wanted to say I truly appreciate the tens of thousands of get-well emails I got from fans. Our fans really are the best in the world.

- Evanescence replaced Linkin Park on the bill. Queens Of The Stone Age switched their set time with Evanescence for this to happen.

- According to reports of the show, "Chester stopped 'With You' because two people fell down in the pit. He said roughly (translated from Italian): "The next day, all the news should talk of that show as a nice event where guys go to have fun and NOT a way to damage ourself". 'With You' was replayed again from the start.

- At one point during the show, Chester threw a bottle of beer to the crowd but the bottle smashed into the ceiling and fell on the stage.

- This was the first show in support of Meteora, which means it was the first time that 'Session,' 'Don't Stay,' 'Somewhere I Belong,' 'Lying From You,' 'Faint,' 'From The Inside,' 'Hit The Floor' and 'Easier To Run' were performed live. This show still stands as the largest debut of songs in Linkin Park history.

- 'Lying From You' from this show was released on the digital Meteora: Bonus Edition.

- On June 2, 2003, an announcement on the band's website stated, "Chester Bennington, vocalist for the rock band Linkin Park was admitted to a Los Angeles area hospital last Friday afternoon after an attack of severe back and abdominal pains.

- There was a lot of messing around between songs (and even during songs) at this performance, particularly during the soundcheck.

- For unknown reasons, all of the instrumental soundcheck songs with two guitar parts in them were performed without one of their guitar parts. 'Somewhere I Belong', 'Faint', and the first take of 'From The Inside' were all soundchecked without Mike's guitar part, while the second take of 'From The Inside' was soundchecked without Brad's guitar part.

- Brad, Phoenix, and Rob briefly played the Jeopardy theme song during the break between the 'Faint' instrumental and the first 'From The Inside' instrumental.

- In addition to the song being performed more substantially during the show itself, the guitar riff from 'A.06' was also played in between 'Lying From You' and 'Faint' during the soundcheck.

- Snippets of 'My Own Summer' by Deftones were performed at two different points, once between 'Faint' and 'From The Inside' during the soundcheck, and again right before 'A.06' during the show.

- Once fans were let into the building, the band played a shortened 'Don't Stay' prior to the "real" start of the performance.

- A brief snippet of 'Big Bottom' by Spinal Tap (mainly Phoenix playing the famous bassline and Chester singing the opening line of lyrics) was performed in between' Somewhere I Belong' and 'Lying From You' during the show portion.

- The intro to 'A Place for My Head' was played by fan request, but the song was aborted due to time constraints. After more fan requests two days later at the CD:UK/Headliners show, it was played in full.

- A second take of 'Somewhere I Belong' was attempted at the end of the show, but aborted because someone broke a string.

- Longstanding rumors claim that the band covered 'United States Of Whatever' by Liam Lynch at this show - this isn't true. Following the aborted second take of 'Somewhere I Belong', Chester and Mike made a couple references to the song (basically just saying something funny and ending with "and I was like...WHATEVA!!!!"), but the song wasn't really played.

- Mike was sick at this performance.

- Very few Linkin Park fans were at this show, but the LPU gave away free tickets to those who wanted to attend (as a part of "UK Week").

- Christian, the lead singer of Blindside, sang the ending of 'P5hng Me A*wy' and came out again on 'One Step Closer'.

- 'Nobody's Listening' was extended and Xzibit rapped a verse from 'My Name' over it.

- Between sets, rap artist Supernatural and a DJ named Rocky Rock entertained the crowd with their own brand of turntable styles and rhymes. One of their quotes from the night was "You show that Montana isn't just a bunch of cows."

- Sue DeVries, MetraPark's box office manager, said the show was the first show in about 10 years where the floor was left open for fans to stand, jump, dance and mosh to the music.

04/25/03: Update

Location: Billings, MT

Posted by Rob

Hey what’s up, this is Rob. I’m here in Billings, Montana at the Metra Park Arena. We’re coming close to the end of Projekt Revolution 2003. It has been a great tour so far. Hanging out with all the guys from Blindside, Mudvayne, Xzibit and Guerilla Union has been great. All of the bands and the crew has been super cool. It has been another successful Projekt Revolution tour in that we have continued to blend all styles of music together and expose our audience to acts they haven’t heard of before. During our set, Xzibit has been coming out for “’Nobody’s Listening” which has definitely been a highlight of the show. We’ve hit a lot of smaller markets on this tour that we didn’t get to hit on the first Projekt Revolution and it has been cool meeting those fans for the first time.

Catering has been a real hit and miss so sometimes we’re a bit hungry (and I hear today is one of the miss days). On a positive note, we have played for some of the best audiences on this tour. We’re all really happy with our set design and lights and think that the look of the show is really incredible. Our crew has done an amazing job putting it all together. We’re sorry we couldn’t make it into more markets and continue the tour for a few more months. It feels like we’re just getting started but will definitely continue our headlining dates at a later time.

We’re really looking forward to Summer Sanitarium with Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, and Mudvayne. Playing right after the Deftones is definitely going to force us to put on the best Linkin Park show possible.

We’re going to be shooting a video for our second single faint when we get home in a couple of days. Video shoots are always super long days but the result makes up for the work that goes into it. We’re looking forward to seeing a lot of you out there. Having you guys out there will make this a special shoot.

- 'A.06' was confirmed to have been played at this show, randomly. pushmeaway.com stated, "Projekt Revolution 2003 highlights - Xzibit joined Linkin Park onstage for "Nobody's Listening" and even added his own little rap into it. There was also a guy break dancing during the song. Also at about the Tucson, Az show Joe and Brad began trading places - Joe would take over Brad's guitar while Brad went to the turntables. They also played A.06." Astat followed up with the person responsible for this info (later, in 2005) and confirmed it.

- 'Nobody's Listening' was extended and Xzibit rapped a verse from 'My Name' over it. Joe and Brad swapped instruments on the song. In an LPU chat, Chester said this was the first time it had happened.

"Maiplaceo> Joe and Brad switching instruments is HILARIOUS, in Tucson, you

were right above Joe's area, did you guys know ahead of time that they were

going to do that?

No that was not planned- I just gave Joe the guitar and Joe

played it. It was crazy fun (LOL hehe TTFN)"

- If you happen to have or know a full or partial setlist for this show, please let us know!
